Preparations
We will be using a virtual machine for the hands-on portions of the camp, so please follow these instructions to get the VM up and running on your laptop *before* you arrive. However, we will also have USB drives with the VM at the camp in case you are unable to get everything working ahead of time.
NOTE: The VM uses 2GB of RAM, so you will need a laptop with at least 4GB of RAM to run it. Depending on your laptop manufacturer, you may also need to enable virtualization in the BIOS.
Windows users: You will need access to the SSH and cURL commands on the command line. If you don’t already have these available to you, please download GitHub Desktop (https://desktop.github.com) and use the included Git Shell application when asked to enter commands in a terminal window in the following instructions.
1. Download and install VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
2. Download and install Vagrant: http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html
3. Open a terminal window and issue the following commands:
mkdir tutorial
cd tutorial
wget http://camp.curationexperts.com/Vagrantfile
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
# vagrant ssh gives you a new prompt: vagrant@camper:~$
cd hyrax-sample/
fcrepo_wrapper
4. Navigate to http://localhost:8984 in your web browser to access Fedora
5. Go back to your terminal window and enter the command: exit
6. Enter the command: vagrant halt
Your VM should now be turned off. You can turn it on again with the ‘vagrant up’ command.
Wifi
OWL and Eduroam are available, as well as a free network call 'the cloud'. Participants should select ‘the cloud’ from the available wifi networks and instructions will appear on how to log on.

Resources
- Slack for our event: https://join.slack.com/t/oxford-fedora-camp/shared_invite/MjM3NTA4ODA1NjE4LTE1MDQ3Nzk5OTktNGViMzYwNzMxOQ (Thank you, Tom!)
- Somewhat dated but perhaps still helpful screen cast about Stanford's staff reporting interface link below. There has been much development on this in the past few years, so if you are interested in it, it might also be worthwhile writing to the samvera-tech mailing list and asking for recent screen casts / demos of this and other internal reporting interfaces.
http://library.stanford.edu/blogs/digital-library-blog/2012/07/source-code-available-argo-and-dor-services - RIIIF - Ruby IIIF gem - probably not for production use, unless you have a small collection, but great for getting IIIF integration going: https://github.com/curationexperts/riiif
- Solrizer - Samvera Solr dynamic schema naming conventions - https://github.com/samvera/hydra-head/wiki/Solr-Schema
- hydra-rspec-templates (testing templates): https://github.com/awead/hydra-rspec-templates
